From Clint McBay - Director of A & R
There is a great flow of rythym to these tracks that works well with the slightly hushed vocal tones, and the mix of acoustic guitars and airy keyboard swells. Both the electric and acoustic guitars bring a huge support for the rythym section by offering the strumming consistently throughout these arrangements. Lyrical hooks stick easily to the mind and ears of the listeners, and the narrator does a good job of using both words and an emotional tone to bring in a a clear understanding of the lead character. - Taxi Music Services

I wish more groups would return to the melodic 80's type sounds.
